[ILUG] CDROM won't eject

[Wynne, Conor]

Never used the eject command, I have always gone the old way : 
umount /mnt/cdrom 
Works for me.
I think its trying to unmount a device rather than a mount point

Try and see.

My DVD drive won't eject using the either the button or the eject
command.

Any ideas on what to do or check next ?

Regards,

Dermot.
